Learn to Love Dexter Morgan

Dexter by Design is the newest book by Jeff Lindsay, and is the fourth in the series starring Dexter Morgan. The books inspired the hit Showtime series, "Dexter," and this book is another entry in this intriguing series. Dexter Morgan is a character that you love and hate equally- by day, he's a blood splatter expert for the Miami Police Department, and by night he's a serial killer who only kills people that he can prove are bad through extensive research. This book was a revelation to me, as it's the only time I have ever felt sympathetic towards a killer. Dexter is cold and methodical, but has learned how to interact successfully in the world. To make things more complicated, his sister Deborah is a detective on the same force and is always doing research of her own. The story is interesting and its fascinating to see how Dexter stays one step ahead of everyone. If you want to discover a different take on serial killers, try reading this book. Don't feel bad if you sympathize with Dexter--it's allowed :)
